John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “Minimum wage, housing, education, strengthening the United States - that is our program and I would like your help in…”

I regard it as serious.

It symbolizes, I believe, this highway, first of all, the partnership between the Federal Government and the States, which is essential to the progress of all of our people.

I just say that there's no sense having a program if a man who is innocent of any intelligence mission, which is true in this case, is subjected to arrest without means of defense.

I think it would be unwise to attempt to negotiate it out here.
